Oh yes .. also priority for TMA would help a lot. I don't need to track 10 friendly warships 50nm away, if there are two enemy subs near and I need acurate and actual solution NOW.
Maybe if I jump to TMA and if I select contact, autocrew will update it right away. Does anybody know how exactly it works ? |
thats how its done in the real world my friend i have two operators with me on the TDHS tactical data handling system one duz the big picture and what we call housekeeping ( making sure the info coming in from sonar is correct) and the other works on the contacts of interest that i and the oow designate |
This is true. We track EVERYBODY. Driving underneath fishing trawlers can be very bad. So can deep draft merchants. Warships are a counterdetection threat, and being detected by friendly warships is just as bad for us...if we're in a war, who's to say they don't get nervous and pop us one just because we're a submarine? We also need to be ready to come to PD at any time, and the game does not model that well at all: coming to PD is a Big Deal, and in high contact density can be a time consuming evolution for us to do safely.
Once you have a good solution on a contact you can pretty much leave it alone, and just reevaluate it every time something changes. There is always a little bit of error, but over time it becomes negligible. I've stood watches where I tracked two contacts the entire time, and then I've been in situations where there were hundreds and the OOD got me some help. Regardless of the situation, everyone initially goes into that system with an updated solution.
